It depends on how you're going to ride it. If you're just looking to ride a bike around the nneighborhood or to the corner market and back, the Huffy isn't going to leave you stranded, it's not going to up and break in half or anything like that.

However, if you're looking for a bike to ride hard, whether it's hitting the trails or cranking hard on the road, I'd not look to a big box store bicycle. As noted previously, you're better off buying a good used bicycle. Reasons being shifting quality, weight, durability etc. I'd stop by the local bike shops, and look for used bikes, look at Craigs list, look at other online classifieds, or even ask the local bike shop to keep you in mind if someone's looking to trade a bicycle in.

I hope this isn't a troll.
